FAFSA Completion Rates

Federal financial aid eligibility is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (U.S. Department of Education, n.d.-a). Students complete the FAFSA form to apply for federal student aid, including grants, loans, and work-study. In 2019–20, 69.7 percent of all domestic undergraduate students and 73.6 percent of full-time students completed the FAFSA form.
